Artist Makes Sculpture Out of Keys From Destroyed Homes
艺术家用烧毁的房屋钥匙打造雕塑艺术品
Last year, the town of Paradise, California was devastated by an enormous wildfire. The fire wiped out over 8,000 of the town's homes. Since then, art therapist Jessie Mercer has been collecting the keys to these destroyed buildings to create a sculpture that would be meaningful to former residents of Paradise. Mercer received packages in the mail containing keys to homes, schools, churches, shops, and businesses that burned down in 2018. The sculpture is an 800-pound phoenix, made of over 14,000 of these keys. The phoenix was donated to a community support centre for survivors of the fire. In recognition of her work for the community, Mercer was awarded a key to the town.
去年,加利福尼亚州的天堂镇被一场巨大的野火吞噬。大火烧毁了该镇8000多所房屋。从那以后,艺术治疗师杰西·默瑟一直在收集这些被烧毁建筑的钥匙来创造一个雕塑艺术品,这对天堂镇的前居民或许很有意义。默瑟在邮箱中收到包裹,里面装有2018年烧毁的房屋、学校、教堂、商店和工厂的钥匙。这座雕塑是一只800磅重的“凤凰”,由超过1.4万颗这样的钥匙制成。“凤凰”雕塑被捐赠给火灾幸存者社区支持中心。为了表彰她为社区所做的工作,默瑟获得了通往小镇的钥匙。
